Family Pictures

Oh family pictures...

These things give me stress.

Now I know I have no reason to complain, I have a very obliging husband who is happy to do whatever I tell him (he has figured out that it gets over faster that way).

I have one darling girl who doesn't cry or spit-up or melt at the sight of a camera.

She'll smile nicely and stand where you want her.  And there's only one of her so she's always smiling and looking at the camera at the same time.

Dream family.

I know.

I just feel the pressure of thinking of something super creative, clever, amazing, thought-provoking, posterity-inspiring.

But this year, I gave up. I didn't do it. I don't know if I ever quite achieved all of those family picture pipe dreams but this year I didn't even try.

So here we are.

The Wood family.

Can I just say that I'm loving the jack-o-lantern smile.

This depiction is probably a little more accurate.

 We can not resist a bus stop.

Thanks to my sister who took these and many other pictures that I think turned out very well.

There's even one of me that we 'cleaned up' for Randall's desk....ooh la la.
